@@acdragonrider not at all, Venice fought the kingdom of France on numerous occasions. In fact, Venice had one time or another to fight against all major European powers. Just in that period: first Italian war - 1495 - the league of Venice fought against France war of the League of Cambrai - Venice fought against France from 1508 to 1513 After the war of the League of Cambrai, Venice took a neutral stand in the European theater of war, concentrating primarily in defending against the Ottomans (there were some exceptions due to force majeure like the naval battle against the Spanish fleet at Gibraltar in 1618). Not to mention when fighting against its long time rival and enemy Genoa many of the troops and commanders were French, and on top of that the French were regularly allied with the Ottomans. So no, Venice was not a traditional ally to France, Venice was a much more consistent ally to Florence, than France.
Not in the slightest dude, The Republic of Venice was an England of the mediterranean always against popery and France. France was ally of the ottomans during the war of Cyprus.
I love this historical battles and the way Apollo is commentating them. No overanalysing how players use the games mechanics correctly or incorrectly. Just focusing on the battle and how it is playing out.
I´ve always love the way this battle is depicted in M2TW where the Spanish instead of capturing the French king (thats what historically happened, btw), flee the field of battle just to give credit to the player for his death or capture XD
By 1525 Knights/men-at-arms no longer used shields. French infantry no longer used pavaises and spears. This type of infantry was used at Crecy and Poitiers but by Agincourt they were not used.

Its not the holy roman empire in fact the majority of the army was spanish. We were under the rule of EMPEROR charles I of spain and V of germany son of juana la loca (daughter of spanish kings elisabeth and fernando the catholics);and Felipe el hermoso (hasburg) the names are in spanish and in the game u can see the simbols of castille leon and aragon
Hello, I am from Spain and I have an ancestor who was the one who met the King of France Francis on a farm. Thanks to that, and through other exploits, he was knighted. It's very funny to see a representation where he could be represented
In fact the so called Holy Roman Empire would at that time be named Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation which translates to Holy Roman Empire of (the) German Nation so HRE is still correct if you just use it as a shorter nickname ♥
I live close to the castle of mirabello, where the battle happened, in one of the farmhouses next to the one Francis the I was held prisoner in. Can say it doesn't/didn't look like this at all
1525 Jörg von Frundsberg a commander of the HRE with 12,000 men and 29 flag-bearers, relived Pavia an save the duchy of Milan. he won most his battles and captured the french king. he is a important figure in the history of the landsknechts next to emperor Maximilian I. unfortunately one son was killed in 1524 an his grandson in 1586 dooming his family branch to the sands of time. also the swiss mercs and the landsknechts had a intense rivalry to the point if they came across each other, they would engage in Bad war and give nor take any quarter
funny we just spoke about this is history... In connection to the peasant wars and how the the payed soldiers than went back to massacre the peasants after this battle... And even made it possible for the peasant to even uprise...
There needs to be a morale debuff to having thin long lines of only 2 men deep. If you charge the center of a unit using a deep ranked regiment of men, it should auto kill all the men in the middle of the enemy formation, since their line of only 2men deep could not resist a 5 man deep charge, as well a unit should immediately route when it's center gets blown out after that.
@@declanjones8888 It's written by Kuji Mitsuhisa, a woman who was Kentaro Miura's assistant. Kentaro Miura created Berserk. Wolfsmund ("the wolf's maw") is a rather brutal no-magic medieval manga with a cunning and vicious antagonist whose work is to suppress rebels and enforce the Habsburgs' laws. The manga has several arcs which are rather stand-alone ish though it helps to have read the previous one to read the next ones. The arcs are a crescendo of violence (and I'd argue sadism from the villain) where "good guys" and innocents get crushed (for the most part). The reader might think that there's nothing these poor lads can do, but actually these people's struggle does get a payoff since the population gets fed up with both the Habsburgs and the villain. An uprising starts and his castle gets besieged. He can no longer send twenty guys after one schmuck in a village where everyone is too scared to resist when said village grew so resentful they'd rather fight to the death.
People Who can play this are on their prime of enjoying what a fun and beautiful game really looks like cause its not call of duty or gta or the Kids fortnite
You are right, Charles the 5th was not at tha battle. Something else to noet is that the swiss comander the players used died 47 years before this battle.
In fact, it was "Holy" because the ruler was supposed to receive his power from God himself and the authority was given by the pope. It was "Roman" as Charlemagne restituted the legacy of the Western Roman Empire and co-existed with Papal State which was based in Rome. Moreover, the "Western Roman Empire" was recreated while there was no Basileus in Byzantine Empire (which btw. wasn't called that way at the time, it's the term created by modern historians - Byzantion was the name of the city before it became Konstantinoupolis). It was an Empire from a legal point of view because (not always of course) there was an Emperor. Actually, we could say it was more of an Empire than the Roman Empire as the ruler of Rome was never called an emperor at the times. It was either Princeps, Dominus or Augustus and Romans of I - V centuries never called themselves an Empire (in their heads they still were a republic and they never heard of the political changes that took place at the time of Augustus). I know it's only theoretical and it was a way to legitimze the power but it was real from a legal point of view. There was even another type of crown reserved for the emperor, which was supposed to exalt him above kings (who could be vassals of the emperor like the king of Bohemia). I know these are just terms that were used for politics and there was nothing "roman" or "holy" (HR Emperors were often excommunicated) in Sacrum Imperium Romanum. This remains an interesting case because it shows how timeless the Roman power was and how it shaped Europe - there was a balance formed of Eastern and Western "Roman Empire". It also shows that it was the ultimate and highest form of power for one person - Napoleon was an "emperor", Russia became a Tsardom, Ottomans claimed they were an empire and none of the above was like the Roman Empire. Apart from that, great job with the reconstruction. I'm looking forward to make one in the future and I know how much work it is. For now I need to get a better PC...
1:07 1. Swiss Mercenaries were highly sought after throughout history. From the Romans hiring germanic Alemanni tribesman as Auxiliary to 19th century europe. Late middle ages was their zenith. Their pike and halberd tactics, discipline and fighting spirit made them such formidable opponents. The most common tactic to deal with them was NOT to engage in close combat. And just use ranged weapons and kill all of them from afar. As their tactics of using square formations and using two handed weapons. Therefore not having any shields. Made ranged weapons quite effective. So having them pictures with those large shields is historically quite incorrect. Also we are NOT "frenchish"...
4:30 these are indeed darts, very underrepresented in videogames and pop history despite being all over the place in sources, particularly pictorial. They're definitely not oversized here, mount and blade just got them wrong lmao
Fun fact : It's not a coincidence that "Francis" sounds like France. In fact, his name in French is "François" which is the old way of saying French (Français in modern French).

This mod looks awesome but it had a lot of glitches when i played it.
as far as i know, on Pavia there was only frenchies and Habsburg troops (both spanish and austrian ones, mainly spanish tho)
No, it was mostly French, Germanics and Italians.
Germans and spanish allies vs French and italians supported by swiss mercenaries. it was a big melting pot
there was definitely plenty of landsknechts and swiss mercenaries and I´d assume thet wouldnt be all of it.
